TLDR
The functional requirement of EMT and/or MET during the individual steps of tumor metastasis is reviewed and the potential of targeting this program when treating metastatic diseases is discussed.Abstract:
Tumor metastasis is a multistep process by which tumor cells disseminate from their primary site and form secondary tumors at a distant site. Metastasis occurs through a series of steps: local invasion, intravasation, transport, extravasation, and colonization. A developmental program termed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been shown to play a critical role in promoting metastasis in epithelium-derived carcinoma. Recent experimental and clinical studies have improved our knowledge of this dynamic program and implicated EMT and its reverse program, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), in the metastatic process. Here, we review the functional requirement of EMT and/or MET during the individual steps of tumor metastasis and discuss the potential of targeting this program when treating metastatic diseases.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that hundreds of circRNAs are regulated during human epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and that the production of over one-third of abundant circ RNAs is dynamically regulated by the alternative splicing factor, Quaking (QKI), which itself is regulated during EMT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Signaling mechanisms of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition
TL;DR: This review discusses how intracellular pathways and extracellular signals that regulate gene expression to induce EMT crosstalk and respond to signals from the microenvironment to regulate the expression and function of EMT-inducing transcription factors in development, physiology, and disease.

TL;DR: This Consensus Statement is the outcome of a 2-year-long discussion among EMT researchers and aims to both clarify the nomenclature and provide definitions and guidelines for EMT research in future publications to reduce misunderstanding and misinterpretation of research data generated in various experimental models.

TL;DR: A molecular link between epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and CD8+ TIL immunosuppression and cancer progression is demonstrated and ZEB1 promotes metastasis through a heretofore unappreciated cell non-autonomous mechanism, and subgroups of patients in whom malignant progression is driven by EMT activators may respond to treatment with PD-L1 antagonists.

TL;DR: A role for EMT in the blood-borne dissemination of human breast cancer is supported as both single cells and multicellular clusters, expressing known EMT regulators, including transforming growth factor (TGF)–β pathway components and the FOXC1 transcription factor.

TL;DR: These studies provide clinical evidence for a subpopulation of chemotherapy-resistant breast cancer-initiating cells and, in combination with conventional therapy, specific pathway inhibitors may provide a therapeutic strategy for eliminating these cells to decrease recurrence and improve long-term survival.

TL;DR: It is suggested that inflammation enhances cancer progression in part by facilitating EMT and entry into the circulation and tagged cells invaded and entered the bloodstream unexpectedly early, before frank malignancy could be detected by rigorous histologic analysis.
